- darklajid 15y agoI seriously hope you're not serious. 1) Of course, you _can_ allow everyone to see your pictures. That's not necessary though and one of the (many) privacy concerns this site seems to focus on. If you share your pictures, you share a HUGE amount of data. Ignore the passed out/joking stuff, you might tell me a lot about your place (expensive stuff in the background? pictures that show a street name?) and your habits (always going to his parents on weekends. currently on vacation). This is, in theory, very easily exploitable, for someone with a criminal mind and the balls to pull of a stunt. 2) Regarding Facebook apps: Well, don't allow those to access your data? You saw what this app did (and automatically, without a human involved). It can exploit the date your coughing up every day in ways that you probably didn't think about before. Bottom line: If you're the 'share with everything and play any FB game' type this might not shock you, but others might wake up and stop being very careless with their own private data.
